This October, the historic and allegedly haunted Sanctuary of the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial will play host to an experiment in the supernatural, when noted necromancer Matthew J. Cassiere (better known as “Matt The Knife”) will lead brave souls through Epitaph: An Intimate Séance Experience.

On the evenings of October 26th and 27th, Mr. Cassiere will part the Veil of Death as he guides you through an encounter with the Other Side. Limited to no more than 8 persons per session, this is sure to be an experience you will never forget. Come and speak to the dead, explore the ethereal plane, and learn what lies Beyond… if you dare!

The ancient Celts believed that at this time of year the division between this world and the next is quite thin, making supernatural encounters not only possible but unavoidable. As the nights become longer, one might expect to encounter ghosts and evil spirits, and it is for this reason that we light protective jack-o-lanterns on Hallow'een. Who knows what haints and wraiths will be revealed when brought forth by Mr. Cassiere to speak with those assembled?

In order to allow as many people as possible to have this unique otherworldly experience, Matthew Cassiere will offer sessions at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 PM each evening. Seating for each session of Epitaph is limited to no more than eight persons, so advance reservations are highly recommended. Admission is $38 per person in advance, or $40 at the door.

Matthew J. Cassiere is an entertainer of the highest order: magician, sideshow performer, escape artist, lecturer, and consultant. A holder of eleven Guinness World Records™, Matt has performed around the globe, appeared on numerous television shows (including programs for the Discovery Channel, CNN, BBC, China’s CCTV, The History Channel, and Ripley’s Believe it Or Not!), and has been reviewed by The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, among many others. In recent years, Matt The Knife has received numerous Magic Competition Awards (2002–2005), the Sideshow Preservation Award (2006), and was nominated for the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA) Novelty Performer of the Year (2006). Matt the Knife also holds membership in the International Brotherhood of Magicians, Society of American Magicians, Canadian Association of Magicians, Escape Masters, Sword Swallowers Association International, and the National Association for Campus Activities.
